Maybe you should be paying your guys more, when you played at long plains none of your blokes could afford to come into our clubrooms and pay for just 1 beer let alone a couple!
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

What's the general consensus with 3 field umpires for the finals? Will be trialed in 1 game each round leading up to the finals.

At a guess I'd say the Balak vs HWE match this round and the Two Wells vs Mallala match in round 16.

Its bloody stupid. Why change the playing conditions for finals? Umpires are too inconsistent as it is from one end to the other not sure how bringing in another person interpreting will help with that.
Cant even believe its being discussed at apfl level to be honest as the suggestion should have been laughed at and move onto the next topic.

Looks like the Balak's vs Hummocks match will be the match this round for it to be trialed.

It has stepped up enormously this year, as good as any country leagues budget, full credit to those behind it.
